A long awaited update on Carlos! 💙

Carlos has been in a foster home while receiving help and vet care for a couple minor medical issues that were previously left untreated. His fosters have been taking excellent care of him, but he is still in search of his forever home! They recently sent us these wonderful photos and an update/bio on this sweet old man:

"Carlos is looking for his forever person!! Don’t let this old man fool you, he has spring in his step and so much love to give! Carlos loves long walks, being outside, treats, enrichment toys, couch cuddles, and being your shadow. Despite his graying beard and old man grunts and groans, his puppy dog eyes will have you melting while he trips over you with the legs and spatial awareness of a baby giraffe.

He’s house trained, does not chew on personal belongings (unless mistaken as a dog toy), and settles well at night. He gets sad every time you leave, but so excited every time you come back. He’s working on his separation anxiety. He’s friendly and excited (and sometimes very vocal) with every person and dog he meets! Carlos has experienced several losses recently, between the litter mates he grew up with and his original owner. This sweet boy needs a calm steady home while he works on his anxiety- but don’t we all?

We think he would do best in a home where people are around most of the time- working from home is a bonus!"

Carlos is 10 years old, and has gone through a lot of change and loss in his old age. He is looking for love, support, and a family who will stay with him through his golden years.

Junie’s fall field trip to The Farmers Daughter 🍂🎃

As an anxious girl, Junie was SO BRAVE and we are so proud of her. 🤍

She’s looking for a quiet home with a patient family who understands that trust takes time. Once she feels safe, Junie is an incredibly loyal, loving pup with so much love to give. She just needs a little extra time to get there.

That’s a wrap on Bark on the Beach 2026!

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s event
such a success. Together, we raised over $53,000 to
support the animals in our care, and we couldn’t have
done it without our sponsors, supporters, volunteers,
and community.

A special thank you to our sponsors for showing up for
ARRI and the animals who depend on us.

While Bark on the Beach may be behind us, there are
plenty of ways to stay connected this fall. Follow along
for updates, sign up for our e-newsletter, schedule a
shelter tour, consider fostering or adopting, or become
a monthly donor.

There’s always ways to make a difference! Thank you
all for your support 🤍

Where Are They Now Wednesday? Cookie! 🍪

Cookie (formerly Tortellini) was adopted back in April. Her family shared this update with us:

“We feel so lucky to have this playful, sweet, smart girl. We have discovered she loves to play fetch. Her favorite texture to make biscuits on is velour. She has brought energy back into our resident 18 year old boy Sam, and he's taught her all the best sleeping spots. We absolutely love her our little chocolate chip Cookie!!”

We’re so happy Cookie has found her place and is bringing so much joy to her family and brother! As always, we absolutely love receiving updates on pets adopted from ARRI. Thank you for sharing and giving Cookie a fresh start, and a life full of love 🤍

Yesterday, we took Junie on little fall excursion to The Farmer's Daughter, and she did so well!

Junie had to inspect every apple we bought. She explored the Fairy Forest, sniffed so many new spots, and checked out all the cool pumpkins. She even met a goat!

Junie is currently our longest resident. She’s a good girl who just needs a little time to warm up to new people and experiences. Once she does, you'll meet the cuddly, loyal, sweet dog who hides behind that little guarded exterior.

Outings like these are so important because they give our dogs the chance to build confidence, explore new places, and experience settings away from the shelter. For a dog like Junie, field trips can make a huge difference.

She was a little unsure of a few things along the way, including a corn stalk blowing in the wind and a scarecrow. But, the more she explored, the more her confidence grew, and it was so rewarding to watch her settle in and enjoy her adventure.

Junie has so much potential, and we know there’s a family out there who will give her the time, patience, and love she needs to feel at home. 🤍

Interested in meeting Junie? Complete an adoption questionnaire through our Linktree, email [email protected], or call (401) 783-7606 Ext. 105.

Thank you all so much for sharing the video we posted last Friday about our cat room being at capacity.

Our call was very well answered! This weekend was busy, and several cats found their homes, and we have several adoptions pending.

Not only did these cats find their families, but we now have space to take more cats in. Adoptions mean we can continue to rescue more pets in need, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make that possible.

We still have cats waiting, and the need for loving homes will always be there. Rose is one still hoping to find hers.

At just a year old, this stunning calico has the loveliest green eyes and a quiet presence. She enjoys head pats and can often be found looking around the cat room inquisitively, taking in her surroundings.

Thank you for continuing to share our cats, helping spread the word, and help us make room for the next pet in need 🤍

Meet new arrival: Lilly Pad 🌸

Lilly Pad is a 2-year-old larger mixed breed pup with the most gorgeous grey markings and amber eyes. She has the best smile, and a great personality to match. She is a happy girl, and she is ready to make her way home.

Lilly Pad enjoys playing with toys in the yard, sniffing around, and zooming from spot to spot. She does great with her sit and seems eager to please. She also loves people and will happily lean against you to ask for pets or give you a hug. Lilly Pad is good with other dogs, but we are not quite sure about cats yet.

Lilly Pad has so much love to give and we’re so grateful to have been able to bring her to ARRI from the South for a second chance. We can already tell she’ll make an amazing and loyal companion.

Use the link on our page to submit an adoption application. Questions about Lilly Pad or any adoption questions? Email them to [email protected] or call (401) 783-7606 Ext 105.
